Belly Banter Review
juliasuppa in Crafty Blogaholic, For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on Apr 12th, 2013Like any baby, when they’re first born, you take photographs. Lots of photographs. Tens. Hundreds, Thousands. I’m not joking.
Especially when it’s your first child, you capture every moment. The first day, the first bath, the first sleep in the crib, smile, roll, etc. Something I also did was take a shot of Isabelle every single week while she was in the NICU, to see how big she was getting, and then every month in the nursery chair.
Sometimes, as mommy brain sets in, you forget these milestones or dates. Here’s where Belly Banter helps. Belly Banter is a company that makes monthly and milestone stickers for your babe. Continue reading
PTPA Winner: Munchkin Fresh Baby Food System
juliasuppa in As Seen on TV!, For the love of food, For the love of parenting, New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 2 comments - posted on Apr 4th, 2013As everyone knows, I love to cook so when it came time to preparing food for my baby, I knew I wanted to make it myself.

I’m so so lucky that my babe doesn’t show signs (so far), but I know so many people whose babes do. It must be so painful watching them itch and be uncomfortable.

Why you SHOULD stop saying SHOULD
juliasuppa in For the love of parenting, Get Inspired: Making a Difference, New Mommy Blogaholics - 3 comments - posted on Jan 8th, 2013Should is really a useless word – it implies that there’s a better way to do something, and you’re not doing it. It also places blame – either on yourself or on someone else. In most cases, you already know what should be happening. The ‘ol “shoulda, coulda, woulda” comes to mind. Continue reading
